This lean steak needs only 9 minutes of broiling time and yet it ends up super-flavourful and tender. The heat lets the seasonings infuse the meat without overcooking it.

A few pinches of pantry spices plus a can of diced tomatoes equals one tempting entree. Bonus: As the sauce simmers, the zucchini quickly steams overtop.

The mystical flavour of 5-spice powder lends exotic flair to this everyday meal, loaded with succulent shrimp. This pasta is also delicious at room temperature.

This spicy stir-fry has tons of flavour and takes less than 20 minutes to hit the table. For an extra-fiery kick, add more chili flakes or use hot chili-garlic sauce instead of the flakes.

Not all soups are created equal. This fast, flavourful meal in a bowl needs less than 10 minutes of simmering to produce an incredibly authentic-tasting broth.
